Abstract (en)

A circuit board has a hole that is large enough to accommodate a portion of an electronic component. Contacts are arranged along a side wall of the accommodated portion of the component. Other contacts are mounted on the board and exposed along the periphery of the hole. The contacts on the component (the first contacts) and the contacts on the board (the second contacts) are arranged to effect electrical contact between the first contacts and the second contacts for a range of positions of the component along a direction perpendicular to the board. A connector for making electrical connection includes a connector body supporting the second contacts in a manner that provides mechanically compliant sliding contact between the first contacts and the second contacts when the component is mounted, and a mechanism that enables the connector to be attached to the board by surface mount soldering. <IMAGE>
